Fonts
A font is a character set that has a unique type style, type size,
and orientation. Both fixed pitch and proportionally spaced fonts
are available for use on your printing system. Each font
character occupies an area called a “character cell.” All
character cells in a fixed pitch font are the same width. Character
cells in a proportional font vary in width.
